Seems self-appointed Ethics Queen Sarah Palin just can’t but help surround herself with losers and the ethically challenged:
Just as Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is pushing an energy plan that fronts her as presidential material for 2012, two of her top aides– Communications Director and Press Secretary, Bill McAllister, and Palin’s Anchorage office director, Kris Perry–are being hit with new ethics charges, to be filed with the state Attorney General on Monday.
Well-known Alaskan political watchdog Andree McLeod–a registered Republican who was once a close political associate of Palin’s and who has worked at a variety of jobs in Alaskan government–said that she is filing the complaint because “employees working for Palin conducted partisan political activities while on the clock and on the public’s dime.”
In August of last year, before Palin was nominated as John McCain’s GOP running mate, McLeod filed ethics charges against the Palin administration over the hiring of Palin political crony Tom Lamal. She also has a legal case pending against Palin in which she is trying to make public more than 1,000 state emails that were copied to the governor’s husband, Todd. In October, an Anchorage judge ordered Palin and others in her office to “retrieve and preserve” any emails from private accounts that concern state business that were copied to the so-called “First Dude.”

To paraphrase John McCain, “Run, Baby, Run!” I so hope she decides to run in 2012 to put the GOP out of our misery once and for all.
